So what did you do today?

[bigbadbob]

Four years ago we had a flood,, 3 years after the flood a guy gave me a Lincoln 115v wire feed welder,
it spent a week or two underwater,, I found that the whip was fubar as the liner rusted.
Well before spending any on it I took a meter and tested all the functions,, surprisingly all passed.
So got a whip off amazon and hooked it up.
Today I did a small welding job,, this thing just purrs!!
Im guessing im lucky or this thing is a tank.
BTW way it is quite old.

That's a good get. For some reason folks will get rid of a quality welder that just needs a little something.
A few years ago I got one from a guy for next to nothing. Brand new Miller Thunderbolt XL 225/150 that was a little dinged up from taking a fall. Vibrated when it ran because the fan was missing a blade. New fan, little body work and it's like new.

Barley, sunflowers, rice…

Some plant barley here but very few. Rice is a far,far southern Illinois thing along with cotton.

As for sunflowers this is my neighbor that the good Lord took home last week.

got (mo

..........so now I'm on a healthy Rx dose of Vit D once a week starting today. Rx of Zoloft for anxiety during the day & staying on Trazadone for anxiety/insomnia at night to help me sleep.

Well I wish you the best with Trazodone and Zoloft. That is a helluva pair. The side effects are rough....real rough. If they put you on Seroquel you will have an even more unenjoyable side effect. I cannot remember whether it was Trazodone, Seroquel or the combination that caused it but I remember the severe leg pain, stuffy head, and tough turds.


As for Zoloft well......you will have stamina with your wife but the inability to finish

Seroquel I took before a car ride. I was trying to stomp a hole in the floor because I thought I was driving and couldn’t stop. Trazadone knocked me out for an hour then I couldn’t sleep. My doctor put me on lexapro to “level” me out. I made it about two weeks before I got more wild and the side effect you mentioned.

 

[furb]

Tractor wouldn’t move at all and the Allis couldn’t move the ranger so it got an oil and filter change a year too late. It moves now. My boss says I need to go to work tomorrow so that slows down progress

Trust me sir I have experienced the side effects of them with the exception of the lexapro. As you know the leg issues with Seroquel suck. Trazodone hell that is feeee too. Come morning I am supposed to pick up some generic Ambien. After reading about it .......well it might find an appropriate receptacle.

Any man taking Zoloft will know the side effect the first time he and a mature lady try to have a good time....

Final batch of pens for this month.

For you guys on meds for depression and anxiety, and then meds to counter the effects of the original meds, did you ever think of trying to learn Tai Chi or meditation? I've learned that most people will only try these as a last resort because it takes effort on their part. (No offense intended.)
I became a student of these arts, taoist yoga and Dayan Qigong 25 years ago, to heal an injured back and deal with the pain. A feeling of calm came over me as a happy side effect. Now, I do a 12 minute set of Qigong almost every morning and feel great. The Qigong is stretching, strengthening and moving meditation all in one. Tai Chi is too hard on my knees now.
I also quite watching the world news. I only keep up on news that affects me, (the stock market, some local news and the weather).
Just so you know, I'm 68 and not on any meds.

I don’t take anything anymore. I figured out if I have a job where I’m moving all day and work at home until I’m about too tired to move. They put me on lexapro to help me focus and slow down but it just made me nuts. They say all the school shooters were on ssri meds. It does make you have some very dark thoughts.

I started taking Trazodone back in 2018, was taking 150-200mg a night to help with insomnia & depression. I quit drinking in 2019 & weaned myself off of it until Feb of this year. I'm taking 50mg of Trazodone, 25mg Zoloft until next week then its 50mg, then Vit D once a week until I go back to the Dr on June 8th. Dr said it would take me about 2 weeks for the Vit D really be effective. Normal level is suppose to be 30-50, mine is 13...

Zoloft def has my guts messed up, but luckily not blocked up. Haven't heard back about my bloodwork yet, maybe tomorrow.

now if I only had a wife/gf lol

 

[CrystalRiver1]

got (more) bloodwork done for iron, testosterone, vitamin b12, folic acid etc.

had bloodwork back in march & everything was flawless except very low vitamin D. the pharmacy never got the Rx. I have been struggling with zero energy/stamina even with simple tasks. then add bad anxiety attacks ontop of that.

so now I'm on a healthy Rx dose of Vit D once a week starting today. Rx of Zoloft for anxiety during the day & staying on Trazadone for anxiety/insomnia at night to help me sleep.

Ok...sounds like you're on a good track. Keep slugging it out!

@CrystalRiver1 Thank You

I had 8 more vials of blood drawn yesterday. Right now I am headed to the orthopedic doctor to get hopefully a cortisone shot in both knees. I know he will do the left and I am hoping the right also. Next week I have to collect my urine for 24 hours. The following week is the first of several MRI scans.
